What happened. Arsenal had considered signing Bradley Barcola before focusing on Vinicius Junior, but Real Madrid's new contract offer to Vinicius could force a pivot back to Barcola.

• Trossard and Martinelli's futures are uncertain.
• Vinicius Jr has received a new contract offer from Real Madrid.
